1843-O $2 1/2

Description

NGC 1843-O MS 63. Large Date. The variety with the large date is considered much scarcer than the small date, and the reality is that all 1843-O quarter eagles are elusive. This specimen is struck in bright, yellow gold and is fully lustrous. Virtually all of the details are very well struck up and superior to the average specimen encountered. The stars, hair curl over Liberty's ear, and the eagle's neck are very sharp, with the only weakness to mention is the eagle's leg. NGC shows this as 1 certified, none higher, while PCGS has not certified one above MS 62, (4/94).
